I'll Be Home For Christmas Lyrics
I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
According to Buck Ram, who was the primary lyricist, he had written the lyrics as a 16 year old, homesick college student.
However, I think it is just as applicable to anyone away from home.
I think of "home" to mean a happy place (a place that warms the heart) although I used to listen to this when I was half the country away during the Thanksgiving season up until I could finally fly home to my family over the college Christmas break. Bing was the master of Christmas music...he and Nat King Cole (plus others of their generation) knew how to turn the simplist of Christmas tunes into masterpieces.
